A proud throwback.
In Gulu, Gender Tech Initiative Uganda celebrated its first ICT camp alumni and welcomed the then US Ambassador to Uganda. Our founder, Atim Ruth, is a YALI & AWE beneficiary, and today she is opening doors for the next generation.

Tech is evolving daily. Will it serve us or enslave us?
3 skills to keep up:
1️⃣ Digital safety and privacy
2️⃣ AI literacy
3️⃣ Digital creation (Canva, Word, spreadsheets)

Social media offers limitless opportunities for personal growth, but the online risks are real.

Soft skills are overlooked, yet vital. To thrive, you need them.
On the previous episode of The Gender Tech Podcast, Ruth Atim spoke on why young people must embrace soft skills.

Celebrate with me 🎊
You could never get used to the sensation of finishing and graduating from a class or course.
I was chosen for the 8th cohort of the Academy for Women Entrepreneurs Uganda @AWE, a network of female entrepreneurs who use business to solve community problems

Honored to represent women and educate the younger generation on AI policy, cybersecurity, tech-facilitated GBV & digital literacy. I learn so I can teach. An aware nation is a stronger, safer, more unified one. Tech must serve us, not harm us.

@RuthAtim asks the question we can't ignore: what is a tech enabled future if women aren't safe online? 💭
With @CeciliaMaundu of #DigitalDadaPodcast on #TheGenderTechPodcast. What do you think? 👇

We used to flip through photo albums. Now the first thing we ask is "What's the Wi-Fi password?"
Tech has changed how we live, connect and earn, but also brought TFGBV. What comes next?
